“Aa, Nobuchika. What’s this?” Masaoka lifted a hand to brush some hair from the youngster’s face, only taking the flowers when offered. “Is this a gift for me, or am I supposed to give this to your mother to keep me from having to sleep in the dog house tonight?” 

Without so much of a word, he rushed through the dimly lit home, exiting through the back patio instead, cutting through the backyard. Masaoka couldn’t ask for more uncooperative weather--there is a persistent and cold rain, and the air was usually cool for this time of year. Not to mention, he had to scale over the walls dividing the neighbor’s yards to throw off any potential tail while carrying his young son... he went on by foot for blocks before taking a rest beneath the awning of an all-night convenience store. He looked thoroughly soaked and exhausted from the trudge, but still couldn’t put his son down... the boy wasn’t wearing shoes at the time.   

Tomomi gave Nobuchika a pointed glance, setting his glass of whiskey upon the coffee table before leaning forward in his seat. “Let’s see what it looks like under the bandage. It shouldn’t be bothering you like this so many days out.”

There was only one shelter from this pain: deciding what his next moves will be. He landed himself into a decent amount of trouble this time around. For the time being, he remain alone with his thoughts in that bathroom--occasionally grumbling as he attempted to control the bleeding.

⊰♞♘⊱ “…” Again? She’s already against the pavement, not moving, not even able to move from the first shot taken earlier. He must be checking her coefficient, the other Inspector had shot her when it wasn’t even past it’s normal level. Yes, she knew by now she was only registered as being paralyzed but it didn’t go any higher nor did it seem to faze her much upon seeing that look on his face. Was he irritated? She couldn’t exactly tell, she only had just now come to from her period of unconsciousness but wasn’t daring to move. She’s not foolish, not even stupid enough to dare saying a word just yet. It can wait, he’s dealing with more than enough at the moment with the silverette deciding to turn to vigilantism as a means of furthering her own goal.If her criminal coefficient hadn’t increased then she was surely going to report her actions to him later, as long as Shion had caught that. For now she’s stuck, simply awaiting for orders to come to allow her to be taken to their infirmary knowing she’s not going to be moving temporarily. Almost like with Kougami again, but not at the same time knowing the reasons behind their currently missing Inspector had been impure to the point of deciding to use her dominator as a means of making sure she doesn’t follow them.All from the fact she had caught someone she wasn’t suppose to in that child’s own eyes.Foolish girl, that’s the only thought she held in mind towards this with her own weariness changing to further dislike. She didn’t like her with the way she acted, this only served to further that as a means of suggesting she doesn’t follow through with the offered case. Yes, she knows that this is her only chance but she would rather not work with someone that had gone as far as to use personal gain as a reason to shoot an enforcer over something as petty as finding someone they knew.It’ll be back to square one from here again.
